c-FOS expression in the forebrain after mating in the female rat is altered by adrenalectomy.

Cameron N, Erskine MS.

Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, Mass. 02215, USA.

In rats of both sexes, mating stimulates neuronal activity in forebrain areas that are also activated by stress. Hypothalamic cells in the arcuate (ARC) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei synthesize hormones or peptides whose levels are altered by adrenalectomy. In this experiment, we examined whether the mating-induced expression of c-FOS in the forebrain is altered by adrenalectomy (Adx) in female rats. Ovariectomized females were adrenalectomized (Adx) or sham-operated (Sham), hormone-primed and mated 2 weeks after surgery. They received 15 intromissions (15I), 5 intromissions (5I) or 15 mounts without intromission (MO) from a male or were taken directly from their home cage (HC). Two hours after mating, rats were perfused with paraformaldehyde and their brains were collected and stained immunocytochemically for FOS protein. FOS-immunoreactive (FOS-IR) cells in the posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD), bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST), ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), medial preoptic area (mPOA), ARC and PVN were counted bilaterally. In Sham animals, intromissions produced significant increases in FOS above HC levels. In Adx animals, mating increased FOS activity in all areas. However, responses to 5I and 15I differed between Sham and Adx groups. In all areas, Shams showed either the highest FOS response following 15I or levels which were equivalent after 5I and 15I. In Adx animals, the greatest number of FOS-positive cells occurred after 5I, with the 15I group showing significant suppression of FOS below 5I levels in the VMH, mPOA, ARC and PVN. These results demonstrate that the adrenal modulates FOS responses to mating in the female rat and suggest that adrenal secretory products normally may decrease sensitivity to low levels of mating stimulation. These effects may be due to increased corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) or beta-endorphin in the hypothalamus after adrenalectomy. 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel

The role of protein kinases A and C pathways in the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor activation.

Han XB, Conn PM.

Oregon Regional Primate Research Center, Oregon Health Sciences University, Beaverton 97006, USA.

There is convincing evidence that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation is coupled to both receptor tyrosine kinase and G protein-coupled receptors. The presence of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and the GnRH receptor on the surface of GGH(3)1' cells makes this cell line a good model for the assessment of MAPK activation by receptor tyrosine kinases and G protein-coupled receptors. In this study, to assess the activated and total (i.e. activated plus inactivated) MAPK, the phosphorylation state of p44 and p42 MAPKs was examined using antisera that distinguish phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) from p44/42 MAPK (phosphorylation state independent). The data show that both EGF (200 ng/ml) and Buserelin (a GnRH agonist; 10 ng/ml) provoke rapid activation of MAPK (within 5 and 15 min, respectively) after binding to their receptors. The role of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways in mediating MAPK activation was also assessed. Both phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; 10 ng/ml) and (Bu)2cAMP (1 mM) trigger the phosphorylation of MAPK, suggesting potential roles for PKC and PKA signaling events in MAPK activation in GGH(3)1' cells. Treatment of PKC-depleted cells with Buserelin activated MAPK, suggesting involvement of PKC-independent signal transduction pathways in MAPK activation in response to GnRH. Similarly, treatment of PKC-depleted cells with forskolin (50 microM) or cholera toxin (100 ng/ml) stimulated MAPK activation, whereas pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) had no measurable effect. To further assess the role of PKA in response to EGF and Buserelin, cells were treated with EGF (200 ng/ml) for 3 min or with Buserelin (10 ng/ml) for 10 min after pretreatment with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (0.5 mM), forskolin (50 microM), or (Bu)2cAMP (1 mM) for 15 min. The results show that MAPK can be activated in a PKA-dependent manner in GGH(3)1' cells. Consistent with previous reports, the current data support the view that MAPK activation can be achieved via both PKC- and PKA-dependent signaling pathways triggered by the GnRH receptor that couples to G(q/11) and Gs alpha-subunit proteins. In contrast, G(i/o)alpha does not appear to participate in MAPK activation in GGH(3)1' cells.

Effect of thyroid hormone on gene expression.

Viguerie N, Langin D.

French Institute of Health and Medical Research, Toulouse University Hospitals, Toulouse, France.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Thyroid hormones are key regulators of development and metabolism that modulate transcription via nuclear receptors. Although the molecular actions of thyroid hormones have been thoroughly studied, their pleiotropic effects are mediated by complex changes in expression of numerous, but still largely unknown, target genes. This review summarizes the recent advances in the characterization of target genes in different organs. RECENT FINDINGS: New patterns of gene expression regulation have been described in tissues with known physiological actions of thyroid hormone, that is brain, liver, skeletal and cardiac muscles, and brown and white adipose tissues. The studies have benefited from the numerous transgenic models with altered thyroid hormone receptor expression and the application of DNA microarray technology to mouse and human tissues. SUMMARY: Data on thyroid hormone-mediated control of gene expression and on the roles of the different thyroid hormone receptor isoforms bring new clues to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of thyroid hormone action in physiological situations and, most importantly, in diseases associated with alterations of the thyroid status.

Mechanisms of skeletal muscle depletion in wasting syndromes: role of ATP-ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.

Costelli P, Baccino FM.

Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Italy. paola.costellnito.it

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Muscle protein wasting frequently complicates patient outcome in several chronic pathologies. The underlying mechanisms remain largely obscure, although studies on experimental models have clarified that a complex interplay of different factors such as nutrient supply, classical hormones, cytokines and other less well defined factors likely concur in causing muscle depletion. The aim of the present review is to highlight some crucial points in the interpretation of the data available about the contribution of the different proteolytic systems, with particular reference to the ubiquitin-proteasome system, in the onset of muscle protein wasting in disease states. RECENT FINDINGS: Much effort has been directed to understanding the role of different signals, transduction pathways, and proteolytic mechanisms in the acceleration of muscle protein catabolism. Several reports propose that ATP-ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis plays a critical role in the enhancement of muscle protein catabolism observed in different pathological states. Other papers, however, suggest that the lysosomal or the calcium-dependent proteolytic pathways or both may be involved. Finally, the studies have been extended to evaluate the possibility of interfering pharmacologically with the onset of muscle protein hypercatabolism. SUMMARY: As the present overview points out, several questions still remain unanswered in the issue of muscle wasting. While many different signals that have the potential to enforce the acceleration of muscle protein breakdown have been identified, it is largely unknown how they are transduced and converge into the hypercatabolic response and how the proteolytic pathways involved are activated. The concept seems to emerge that there may be a coordinated action of different proteolytic pathways in setting up muscle protein turnover towards excess catabolism.

Improving food intake in anorectic cancer patients.

Laviano A, Meguid MM, Rossi-Fanelli F.

Department of Clinical Medicine, University 'La Sapienza', Rome, Italy. alessandro.laviannirima1.it

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Anorexia and reduced food intake are important issues in the management of cancer patients. This article discusses the currently proposed hypothesis of its pathogenesis, and reviews the available and future therapeutic options as they relate to the pathogenic mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS: Currently available data suggest that the pathogenesis of cancer anorexia is multifactorial, and involves most of the hypothalamic neuronal signaling pathways modulating energy intake. Thus, a number of factors have been proposed as putative mediators of cancer anorexia, including hormones (e.g. leptin), neuropeptides (e.g. neuropeptide Y), cytokines (e.g. IL-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor) and neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine). It is unlikely, however, that they represent separate and distinct pathogenic mechanisms, rather it appears that close interrelationships may exist among them. In line with this reasoning, consistent experimental and human data suggest that hypothalamic monoaminergic neurotransmission may represent a major target on which different anorexia-related factors converge. SUMMARY: In the pathogenesis of cancer anorexia, cytokines appear to play a key role. Their increased expression during tumor growth inhibits the hypothalamus to appropriately respond to peripheral signals, by persistently activating the melanocortin system and inhibiting the neuropeptide Y neuronal pathway. Hypothalamic monoaminergic neurotransmission may significantly contribute to these effects. Thus, interfering pharmacologically with cytokine expression or hypothalamic monoaminergic neurotransmissions is an effective therapeutic strategy in anorectic cancer patients.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and baldness is a problem in many ways. Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context. Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world. Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to DHT.

There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss and promotes hair growth. Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
